Marvel Assistant Size Spectacular #2 (OF 2)

Okay, so I wanted to write a review for the first issue that came out, but I though I'd wait till the second issue was out. The reason why, is that both issue you can't review as a whole, but rather review each individual story. Even more so since they revealed, that Marvel will publish a series of one of the stories. That right people, it was a pilot comic, and you can Vote over witch one you liked best. So here's a quick run down of the stories.

1) D-Man (aka Demolition Man) Written by: Brain Patchett drawn by: Xurxo G. Penalta  Edited by: Alejandro Arbona

So D-man is a character I'm not familiar with, has the stander Captain America like powers, and used to be an addict working for the Power Broker. So after his fall from grace, he decides to enlist for the War in Iraq, where D-man helps inspire a group of soldiers to become masked heroes, only to have problems with the higher ups with 'Illegal Super humans". So now D-man now become the lone hero fighting in the night of Iraq to make sure his fellow soldiers stay safe.
The idea is interesting enough, but I'm not sure how it would hold up on its own story.

2) American Eagle Written by Jason Aaron   Art by: Richard Isanove  Edited by Lauren Sankovitch  

Alright, so American Eagle I knew a bit about since his appearance in Thunder Bolts. The story picks up with an old Captain American villain, Cottonmouth, who had recently robbed a bank and kidnapped a child. Even though Arizona has the team Desert Star from the Initiative, they local sheriffs would rather have American Eagle do the job, which he handles quite well, by punching Cottonmouth in the mouth.
I really enjoyed this one, and if they keep the same team, I can see this as a new comic series to pick up. In fact American Eagle I can see as being my next favorite B-hero (right along Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and War Machine)

3) Hawkeye Mini-marvel. By: Chris Giarrusso edited by: Nathan Cosby

I just go to say this. It's Mini-marvel, if you've read enough Mini-marvel, you know what to what's to come. With just a story of Hawkeye saving the Avenger from the Crimson King.
I can't see this getting it own comic series, mainly because I'm use to seeing it in the back of the marvel comics. But would be to bad in trades like that up comic G-man Comic by Giarrusso

4) Luke Cage (aka Power Man) written by: Wyatt Cenac  art by: Todd Nauck  Edited by: Tom Brennan.

There are two things that surprised me about this; 1, why does Power Man not have his own comic, rather then be a cast member or a side character. 2, I'm surprised that Bendis didn't volunteer to right it. If what they say about Bendis is true that is. You know what I mean *wink* *wink*
The story fallow Cage, as this guy tries to convince him to run for Borough President or "Beep", who helps the mayor decide what's best for Brooklyn. Which Cage declines till he finds out the current "Beep" is crooked and trying to being down the local shops and schools to build a base ball arena. So it's up to Cage to put a stop to him.
Like I said, why doesn't Cage have his own series already? Ms. Marvel has her own comic, maybe if Cage had big boobs people might read it.

4) Galacta (aka the hot daughter of Galactus)   writen by: Adam Warren  art by: Hector Sevilla Lujan  edited by: Jordan D. White

Now here was something I never knew, Galacuts has daughter, and she good. The story is just a day of her life and how she coupes with her two big problems. 1) Always hungry. 2) Daddy issue. Unlike her dad, she doesn't want to eat earth, but rather eat the harmful stuff brought down to earth by aliens, such as removing the bacterium brought down by the Skrulls, from human that have fallen ill due to it. Or eating up Thermophile Lithometallovores, that came from the Kree Moon's. But she has come to realize her Hunger is getting worst and worst, only to find out, she has the comic equivalent to a Tapeworm. Though she hates to do it, she has to turn to her father for help.
My only complaint with this is that I kind of wish Warren might have drawn it. But that's not to say the art they have is bad, in fact the art is pretty good, aside from having a few manga like face expression.
This comic I can see more of a min series rather then an ongoing comic. But I would still like to read it.

Story: 5  art: 5

6) Elsa Bloodstone written by: Chris Yost  art by: John James  Edited by: Daniel Hetchum

I remember Elsa from Ellis's Nextwave comics, but I didn't know much about her aside from her killing monster. This story does explain a bit of her origins and her Father, and how she hate that her father placed this task upon her. Not much else to it other then the fun of killing monsters.
Bloodstone I can see as either a mini or on-goingcomic. Either way, I wouldn't mind reading it.
